No. 5
The Fol-de-Rols from
Devonshire Park, Eastbourne
The Large Pier Pavilion, Llandudno
., White Rock Pavilion, Hastings
In this novelty broadcast admirers of the Fol-de-Rols will be able to hear this year's three companies in action, one after the other, from two seaside resorts in Sussex and one in North Wales. An interesting feature of the broadcast will be the part played in it by Harry Pepper. Listeners will hear him announcing at Eastbourne at the opening of the programme and they will hear him again at Hastings at the close. They may surmise that to be able to do this he will travel across country by car, but it may not occur to them that he can hear anything of the broadcast from Llandudno. He will be listening all the time, however, for the car will be fitted with a.radio set.
The Fol-de-Rols have a record of twenty-five years of entertaining. They first broadcast in May, 1934, and gave their first series on the air last year. This spring they gave another series of studio broadcasts before the studio company divided up to join the three companies that are to be heard this evening. '
